The phenomenal and explosive proliferation of social media over the last decade is strong evidence that modern human beings are in desperate need for genuine relational connection between God, self, and others. In a digital age that is more connected than ever before, loneliness, anxiety, and a sense of estrangement is found across the globe in the 21st century. Beyond being relationally disconnected, issues surrounding ethnic discrimination, phobias of every sort, and the human conscience that consistently bears witness that something is terribly wrong is all addressed by the Holy Trinity in the redemption wrought by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 
It is our hope that the years of prayer, travel, research, and writing of the authors would be of help to you as you seek to grow as a disciple of Jesus, our older Brother, find comfort in the Holy Spirit, to the Glory of God our Abba, Father.

Covenant Transformative Learning: Theory and Practice for Mission (Relational)

Gimple, Ryan

This book is about mission partnership, between Total Health (US-based) with the La Ceiba GCLA church in Honduras that offers unique opportunities for transformation in both patients at the clinic and the mission workers at the same time. In this case study of holistic mission, through mutuality and reciprocity, God is at work spiritually and physically among both patients in the clinic and the mission workers. The examples used in this book illustrate the relational nature of Christian mission partnership that fit into this broadened perspective of holistic mission. This book is an example of how mission leaders, empowered by a vital relationship with the Triune God, can look beyond a view of their own ministries, asking how their gifts might be used in partnership with others to facilitate even greater missional gains and fruit that will last.

Relational Leadership Development: An Ethnological Study in Inuit Contexts

Ferch, John

Our Triune God is by nature a relational God, who uses relationships with himself and others to transform us as individuals and as communities of believers. As we minister to each other, we are to experience that transformation and facilitate it within others. We explore the concept of “relational interactionism” to describe this process of interactions that take place within relational networks, influencing who we are, what we do, and who we are becoming. We have also included chapters by 10 practitioners of relational ministry, demonstrating the application of the principles in practice.\nThis book is written with three kinds of readers in mind: Christina leaders and practitioners who seek practical ways to think about their ministries and build relationships with those they minister to. Teachers and trainers who are helping students think about their current and future approaches to ministry. Christian researchers who are attempting to help ministry leaders by exploring the application of various models in ministry.
